blueshrew 0 #1 October 13, 2004 It would be cool to have a section like the Dropzones section, where coaches are listed by loaction, and people who have received coaching from them can rate and review them. Maybe limit it to full-time/professional coaches. Nadine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 25 #2 October 13, 2004 If you did this, I'd think it would be better to allow coaches to put themselves into the database, rather than limiting it. Some full time coaches aren't all that good, and I've had coaching from part timers that was excellent. Reviews would sort out who was doing a good job.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob.dino 0 #3 October 13, 2004 Not a bad idea at all. I'm just worried it might turn into an eBay style "AAAAA+++++++++++++!!!!!!!! TOP COACH!!!!!!" love-in with no useful information? Folk like me with low jump numbers aren't the best at judging just how good a coach someone is, as we've got little to compare them with... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueshrew 0 #4 October 14, 2004 Well it seems to be working for DZs with the reviews and stuff. It would just be great to have an overview. There are so many coaches around, you meet so many, but you have no idea where to go or who to book if you're pressed for time. Sure you hear some names more than others, but I still have no idea who of those guys I'd try to go to, if I could choose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best way to find a coach is to ask around...Bad coaches don't tend to get recomendatons. The idea is not bad, but it would be a a HUGE area, and not that much traffic since most will just normally ask around."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
